Good day everyone,
I would appreciate some guidance regarding my Canadian study permit POF.
I recently received admission into a 2-year MSc program and have already paid the required CAD $2k tuition deposit to secure my admission.

Here is my financial situation:
- Total academic expenses each year is CAD $27,000 per year.
- university offered me funding totaling CAD $22,000 per year (44k for both years)
- my co-supervisor has approved a one-time funding grant of CAD $10,000 and I am currently requesting an official letter for this funding.
- Based on the above, my tuition and academic expenses for the entire program are covered by the confirmed funding. (Recieving: 54k. 2years tuition= 54k)

For living expenses, I am self-funding.
Over the past few years, I have built a dedicated savings account containing approximately 20m (20k CAD). The account has a consistent savings history and very few withdrawals because it was specifically maintained for my study plans. My day-to-day expenses are paid from a separate salary account and parent because they want me to save aggressively.

My concern is this:
Since my tuition is already covered do I still need to demonstrate proof of living expenses for the entire 2-year duration of the program (roughly CAD $45k), especially considering that I will no longer be earning my current salary after relocating?
Or would it be reasonable to apply with my available savings of about 20m (20k cad), together with the university funding and supporting documents?

I would appreciate insights from anyone who has been in a similar situation or has experience with Canadian study permit applications. I'm I safe? What are my chances? What do I do to convince the VO better in the his situation

It's getting late I must submit next week because my program starts Fall 2026.
Thank you.
